no, i think ron klain wants people talking about trump all the tile. -- time.site of what he said. pundits go on and on and on about trump and the doj and the affidavit's coming and, wow, it's really redacted. i get it's a great detective story, but even when nothing has happened for days, that seems to be the default programming. >> with the story so far, it is developing in little, incremental bits. somebody file, and then there's a deadline for the counterfiling, we're not sure when it's going to come -- howard: any minute. any minute. >> this whole investigation is truly made for television coverage in that sense. we are guided by daily deadlines that they are up against that we then are have to cover. howard: debate has been going on since about 2015, robbie, when cnn and fox covered the trump rallies and the president -- as president he was always punching and counterpunching, going, you know, calling people names and that sort of thing. it's drawn endless coverage, usually negative coverage from the media. but i think it crowded out everybody else. that

. >> carley: ron ron klain was asked the same question. >> that is definitely his intention, obviously something could happen, it is his intention to run and i believe he will run. >> carley: so much hedging here, ron klain would say the president can't officially declare he is running because he may trigger federal election law. former president donald trump dropped new hintss on his plan for another white house run. >> you will not answer the question if you are running. >> i'm not allowed to legally sglchl you're a golfer, why give up a great life and go back to that hell hole? >> because i love the country and we were so close before covid came in, we had a country like never in history. >> carley: the former president laid out strong border, energy independence, ending indoctrination in the classroom. woke capitalism is major midterm focus for republicans who say american workers shouldn't have to pay the price for the left's policies. >> this is at the heart of weaponizing unsuspecting americans voting rights in the name of social governance or esg agenda. >> carley: they will un

i want to start by playing some sound from white house chief of staff ron klain interviewed yesterdaylantic festival and was asked kind of about the current dynamics of things and proceeded to say this. >> senator lindsey graham came out with legislation to not just ban abortion, by the way, but to impose up to a five-year criminal penalty on doctors who provide reproductive services to women. i just want you to think about what kind of country this would be if doctors walked around knowing that they could go to jail for five years for providing needed services to their female patients. who will go into that profession? who will provide those kinds of services sh who is willing to risk a prison term? >> the reason i wanted to play that is because the question was not about lindsey graham's bill or even explicitly about abortion. ron klain the white house chief of staff took it that direction in a very detailed manner, laying out objections for a very specific reason which i think underscores where we've seen democrats move over the last six to eight weeks. does this work? is this some

monica medina is the wife of white house chief of staff ron klain. >> yeah, that'n.s ron klain, the wife who is her present job. laura , i actually looked this up. i she is now the assistant secretary ofs no oceans and international environmental and scientific affairs. ans andnow, she's basically thew green deal lobbyist at the international level. but it's amazing that we now have a diplomat of plants and animals. well, i was going to say, is she representing the fish? was that where the fish end up in this? : wher all right.e fish in before we go , tell us about how lizzo ended playing a historic flute in d.c. youd.c. can't make this up. when the library of congress, carla hayden, heard that lizzo, who often uses flutes in her performance, was coming to d.c. she invited her to the library of congress to t see whatrgest is apparently the largest collection of flutes in the world. so lizzo came to the library of congress and they're going to show you. oh, my god bless. the u.s. premiere of this piece happened in the auditorium across the street. >> and ron paul played it. and this is th

. >> white house chief of staff ron klain spoke to the atlantic about the biden administration's legislative agenda and several of -- accomplishments. the response to the covid-19 pandemic, inflation, and the war in ukraine. >> i just learned david from law school class, we were in law school together. today is the first day of fall, i think, and you described the summer as the cnn of substance. i just want to look back at the pieces of legislation that we just had an to get your sense of how they add up, because sometimes the messiness of the legislative process and the fact that it's been so uncertain, it's hard to remember if there was actually a theory we hind some pieces of legislation or if there is a vision behind it all. >> well, there was. first of all, when you talk about the biden agenda, a lot of it is built on the obama-biden agenda, we were able to expand health care coverage to a number of people, we were able to pass climate change legislation because we had the paris agreement that president obama worked on. so we built on a foundation, but i think we took that foundation to

monica medina is the wife of white house chief of staff ron klain. >> her present job i looked this up is now the assistant secretary of oceans and international environmental and scientific affairs. now she's the new green deal lobbyist at the international level. it's amazing we now have a diplomat of plants and animals. >> laura: where are the fish in this? tell us how lizzo ended up playing a historic flute in d.c. >> can't make this up, when the library of congress carla hayden heard that lizzo who often uses foods in her performance was coming to d.c. she invited her to the library of congress to see the largest collection of flutes in the world. lizzo came to the library of congress. >> i can play it or no? >> she later played a crystal flute created for president james madison that dates back to 1833 but they didn't do this in madison's day. she also played the crystal flute at her concert, it's not exactly james galway but i guess if the pied piper can pull a few rats on the other side of the potomac to let her the crystal. >> laura: she's a pretty good flautist, she's pretty

but biden, yelling, ron klain, wave them all off, they are fanatics.mant about pursuing their green remaking of america no matter how much damage they did. they didn't care. they spent like there was no tomorrow, like money grew on trees. they promised the moon to get there green raw deal passed through congress, no republican support and all they can do is blame the guy who has no other choice. the chairman of the federal reserve. >> i think the fed, they are making exactly the same mistake on the other side that they made a year ago. >> at this point, powell is more the problem than the solution. >> laura: they are clean with rate hikes that the fed is overdoing it. they warned of a global backlash and they called interest rate hikes cruel. also that the federal reserve is confusing the market and hurting the economy. reality check. it was biden who reappointed powell for another term. the angle thought that powell back in the spring of 2021 was dropping the ball on inflation. on what basis should jerome powell be re-nominated as fed chair, by the wa

that's why ron klain has tried to tamp down on the idea it would be anybody else but biden at the tope ticket. it's a loyalty test for kamala harris saying she's just there as a sidekick, so it doesn't look like she's trying to steal the spotlight. we have seen with governors like gavin newsome, buying ads if flower, just so happens to be the home state of not just another potential 2024 rival, but also a swing state. the real question is do democrats come to see biden's anemic polling numbers, which have only slightly rebounded as a specific attribute of biden, him being old, him doing unpopular things or about the democratic policies in general. because let's face it, that 1.9 trillion that really triggered a lot of this inflationary crisis that we're seeing by exploding that money supply, that is something that every other democrat that was running in 2020 probably would have done. so if biden's the more moderate alternative in 2024 as he was in 2020, does that mean that any other successor to him would have anything higher than what this low 40s approval ceiling, which is become t

passing by his top aides including kate benningfield who leads his communications and chief of staff ron klain and mike donolan and the meeting in the oval office where the president was informed, unfortunately, the president said he was not surprised and he'd been participating in a videoconference earlier in the day with several western allies where they agreed on and announceded a $695 million package in security assistance to ukraine and mike memoli reports that according to president biden that the prime minister liz truss abruptly left that videoconference which was why the president was not surprised to learn of the queen's passing. earlier today i asked the press secretary karine jean-pierre what would happen to the special relationship between the u.s. and the uk if the monarchy transitions. at that time before the queen's passing she did not want to engage in hypotheticals, but the relationship will remain strong. here's the press secretary. >> our hearts and our thought goes to the family members of the queen, goes to the people of the united kingdom i don't want to get ahead of wha

here's white house chief of staff ron klain when asked the same question. >> that is definitely his intention. obviously, something could happen. today he respects the fact that a lot of things can had happen but it is his intention the to run and i believe he will run. maria: leo, your thoughts? >> well, i thought the line of the statement was that nancy pelosi's not going to be getting into politics. maria: yeah. >> of course he's not going to run. but it can't be said. you can't create a lame duck be presidency this early in his presidency. everyone knows he's not going to run. the democrats know it. the republicans know it. it just can't be stated so they're going to p dance around it. maria: we're at the lows of the morn, the dow industrials down 371, we are going to take a break. when we come back, the federal reserve is not the only institution raising rates. fed ex is now raising the cost of delivery. it's intended fight on inflation. how can this impact your cons consumer and your wallet, the. hilthe word on wall street is soming up and steve ducey will tell us about his new cookback

ron klain says this about joe biden's economy. to forget that when joe biden came to office, we turned on the tv at night and people were in line at football stadiums waiting for a box of food. we had 20 million people out of work. businesses closed and schools closed. >> trace: this economy is in bad shape. the dow is way down. inflation is way up. they want to talk about the economy they inherited. your final thoughts, sir. >> i think president biden is trying to convince the american people that inflation, given how high it is, given the fact that people's 401(k)s are crashing that that somehow means the economy is just fine and the white house needs to put down the bong. the american people don't believe that. >> trace: senator, always great to have you on, sir. thank you. >> thank you. >> trace: a live look at the dow. we just said with senator kennedy they're in danger of ending the day an official bear market. that is a drop of 20% from its record high of more than 36,000 back in january. the white house responding just mom

ron klain has been tweeting every day about what the gas prices are. food prices are going up.idterms and this is something that is a concern. >> let's play the ad. food prices continue to do this. >> i'm nancy mace. think about the cost of breakfast today. milk is $4 a gallon. a dozen eggs almost $4, too. and a pack of bacon will cost you nearly $8. here is what i'm going to do to biden's tax and spend agenda. >> i was scrambling eggs for my son this morning. i was looking at the eggs not the camera. the republicans think it's a powerful issue, but frying eggs or scrambling eggs isn't going to solve inflation. what are they going to do differently? >> they haven't really provided what they're going to do. the republicans whether they're in the house or senate haven't row vided any kind of policy plan but they do think and it is still the number one issue to voters and all the polls show this is something voters care about, are worried the most, on president biden's side the possibility of job losses happening definitely takes a big point out of his argument which is that so fa

ron klain has been eager to talk gas prices going down. he can do it every morning as he has been so far. >> that's the single greatest issue for the white house. they hope prices trend downward. "washington post"'s tyler pager, thank you for joining us. thanks to allgetting up "way too early" on this tuesday morning. "morning joe" starts right now. >>> bye-bye. she's smiling, having a good time. i love the old days, you know? you know what i hate? there's a guy totally disruptive, throwing punches. we're not allowed to punch back anymore. i love the old days. you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a

democrats, ron klain the chief of staff, posted every day gas prices are ticking down for the 70 plus a row. what are the roadblocks that you are keeping an eye on over these next two months before those midterms that could, if anything can, potentially shake up the dynamics? >> i think the biggest question here is, are these women who are registering to vote for first time going to come out in november? indicators in past would suggest yes. there's a lot of time left in this campaign. we have to keep in mind that just a month ago, this was a red wave election in the making. history benefits the republicans here as the party out of power. they have all of the advantages. they want to make this election about inflation. these women are fired up. that will be the big question, do they come out in november? >> as evidenced by kansas and new york. they are coming out and fired up right now. president obama, who will be at white house today, remembers the 2010 shellacking in the midterms. joe biden thinks he will see a different midterm. >>> house party, speaking of the white house, barack

last night white house chief of staff ron klain was also leaning in and talking about that proposal as the white house is hoping that the issue of borgs rights will really help galvanize female voters and also independent voters heading into november. >> arlette, thank you and stand by. now to the sham vote literally being held under russian guns. right now ukrainians living in these four occupied areas outlined in green are being handed ballots by russian soldiers asking if they want their region to become part of russia. the u.s. is calling it staged. cnn's nick payton walsh is there. what more can you share from there on the ground? >> reporter: very much expected this process i shouldn't really call it a vote has been going on today and you know really would not be surprised to learn that some people are being allowed to vote by the ballot boxes being brought to their homes. in fact, one polling station, i say in quote marks there, said it had ten voters today. this is just a sham, a process, very common for russia to use the sort of visuals of democracy to try and endorse somethin

it ove is there anyone is for it othera kamala harris and ron klain cla? and the ideologues who run this most people are not for it administration? eve most people are not for it. even most democrats are not for it. the safety act of illinois stands for safety, accountability, fairness and equity today. y, so the reason they're doing this is because they didn't. like the demographic breakdown of the people who are getting br arrested for crimes, period. therefore they aning. therefore, they're just going to redefine it away.o redefine it away it was ideologically inconvenient for them. so the solution is to just legalize murder and kidnapping and trespassing. and at the same time, you are awfuallowed to notice that an awful lot of these cases appear to be . it's hard to know and you neverb want to think it, but they appear to be motivated by racial animus. racia they do. that's just true. again, no one wants to think that, but there are so many videos of it. consider the horrific attack,, really an attempted murder on a student at westbrookt on high school

heard thatfr joe biden is this great-- centrist, this wonderful moderate who has been kidnaped by ron klain in the white houser staff. he's always been a leftist, hasa been left his whole career. great point. lifetime american conservative union rating of just 13%. so this guy is a leftist and ihs think he's doing what his heart wants, wants him t to tho do, wh is to appeal to the leftup hig and hope that will get his numbers up high enough to prevent some kind of a totala ta destruction november. >> you know, for anyruction. ofd i have been one of themn kids thinking that he had been kidnaped and that none of thisse made any sense. the fact of the matter is , yous know, it does make sense thatse this is exactly what he wants and it's what dr. jill wants. alall ofl of them own what thisl is and all of them will own what will be a horrible, embarrassing, debilitating legacy for thabarrassit entire . and it's a shame.insult it's an insult to the democrats and it's an insult to every other american in this country.c gentlemen, thank you forountry joining me tonight. i appreciate it. roy, charl

ron klain has been eager to talk gas prices going down. it'll be interesting whether he can do it every morning as he has been so far. >> that's the single greatest issue for the white house. they hope prices trend downward. "washington post"'s tyler pager, thank you for joining us. thanks to allgetting up "way too early" on this tuesday morning.
